Today I have used the Ginger Spice Cocoa Mug digital stamp from Digi Doodle Studios, our generous sponsors this week, to make a cute and tasty Christmas card.



I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, colouring with Copic markers then die cut with a nesting circle die.  I cut a 5 3/4" panel of patterned paper, matted with white cardstock, timmed to 1/16" border, matted with green cardstock, trimmed to 3/16" border then adhered the panel to a card base.  I layered the image panel with an offset circle and doily, adhering the layers in place with liquid adhesive.  I finished the card off with a die cut sentiment, which I layered for extra dimension.
The finished card is 6 1/4" square.

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative
and look forward to seeing your projects fill the gallery for
Crafty Gals Corner Challenges are bi-weekly.
Each crafter may only submit 3 projects per challenge.

  6. Ooops, I forgot to say that I have changed over to digital images almost completely. I did keep a few "favorite" rubber stamps but mostly I cleaned out the drawers which were overflowing and gave them all to a local charity which collects toys and craft tools for kids in need.
